How many days to recover from external hemorrhoid surgery

How long does it take to recover from external hemorrhoid surgery?

Hemorrhoids include internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids, which are common in people who stand or sit for a long time. Hemorrhoids formed by the expansion of the middle and lower venous plexus of hemorrhoids are all located below the dentate line and covered with skin on the surface, which are called external hemorrhoids. The main symptom of hemorrhoids is bleeding. If the hemorrhoids are large and fall off, they often stain underwear and make the patient feel uncomfortable. External hemorrhoids can cause thrombosis and severe pain. Although hemorrhoids will not cause serious consequences, they will still cause pain and anxiety to the patient. It takes at least one week to recuperate after hemorrhoid surgery. The longer the recuperation time, the better the recovery. Pay attention to your diet at ordinary times.

1. Topical medication

Pay attention to the difference between internal and external. Most of the topical drugs currently used to treat hemorrhoids on the market are Chinese patent medicine preparations. For internal hemorrhoids, inject the ointment 1-2cm into the anus with a syringe. For external hemorrhoids, it can be directly applied to the local affected area to relieve the pain of external hemorrhoids, reduce inflammation and itching, stop bleeding and reduce swelling. The effect is good in 1-3 days, and 1-2 courses of treatment are required for mild cases.

2. Oral medication

Oral medicines that can clear away heat and detoxify and treat hemorrhoids are mostly Chinese patent medicines, which have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and relieving pain, and dispersing wind and moistening dryness, but they must be selected according to symptoms. For example, if the stool is dry and bleeding, you can choose medicines with the effects of moistening the intestines and relieving constipation, activating blood circulation and stopping bleeding. If there is a lot of bleeding, it can be used in combination with hemostatic drugs.

3. Surgical treatment

The surgical treatment of hemorrhoids is mainly through ligation or excision, direct treatment. Of course, surgical treatment also has certain indications.

Although external hemorrhoids are not a particularly serious disease, if not treated in time, it will cause a lot of discomfort to the patient. Long-term bowel movements will also affect physical health and even cause bacterial infections. External hemorrhoids are a common anorectal disease that should not be ignored. Timely treatment is the way to completely relieve the trouble. Hemorrhoid patients should strengthen exercise in daily life, reasonably configure diet, and develop the habit of regular bowel movements.
